Individual Details
Ann (Annie) O'CONNOR
(Abt 13 Oct 1849 - 4 Jul 1878)
Annie's marriage certificate also tells us she worked as a servant and her "usual" address was Melbourne, while the usual address of her husband, Edmond (also known as Edward), was Carlton. Witnesses to the marriage were James Lane and Ellen [very difficult to decipher but could be] Mahoney. Could James Lane have been a relative of Annie's first cousin Maurice Lane, whose daughter Nora would, many years later, marry Annie and Edmond's son James?
Annie died aged only 29, just six months after the death of Edmond. As Edmond had died of tuberculosis, which is contagious, it is possible that Annie also succumbed to the disease, and perhaps also her infant son, Edward, who died seven months after Annie at the age of just 12 months.
A newspaper notice following Annie's death read "The Friends of the late Mrs. ANN HUDSON (widow of the late Mr. Edward Hudson) are respectfully invited to follow her remains to the place of Interment, Melbourne General Cemetery. The funeral will move from the residence of Mr. Lane, 10 Lynch-street, Carlton, THIS DAY, 4th inst., at one o'clock." It is probable that Mr. Lane was either Maurice Lane or James Lane mentioned above. The newspaper notice suggests that Annie - and her two young sons - may have moved in with the family of Maurice/James after Edmond's death.
